Daniel's 6th Birthday

In true fashion we had at least three birthday celebrations for Daniel. My Dad had surprised us the week before and flew in, so of course we had to celebrate with him, and then we went to New Hartford to celebrate with our Great Aunt Pauline, and then we had some guests over for Daniel's birthday and I tackled a pirate ship birthday cake for that.

Daniel is still into building things, he wants to build things when he grows up, loves legos, pirate things, cars, trains, and blocks. The weather has been unseasonable warm lately, we have been enjoying it.

The Months Go Quick

As I won this monthaversary, I was thinking of what to update this blog about this time. If I think a month went quickly, look at those two young kids in the picture above. After we got married, we went on our honeymoon, and finished the semester out. Kevin worked at Kroger until I graduated, and then we spend the next year in transition and apart for most of the year. But one thing that God gave me was a good man who was faithful and consistent. A man who has grown a lot, and continue to excel (he is good in the Office Program Excel too) in what ever he puts his hand to do. I am proud of him.

Now I need to get pictures up of our new 6 year old...after we recover from sickness this week.

Sweet Friends, Sweet Pea, and Sweet Weather!

We had a great time with our visitors from Lowell, MA! We used to live 7 minutes away, and now 5 plus hours takes some better planning, but it was great. I got to show off a little bit of stuff around here, and it was great to have the kids play so well together! So very thankful for their friendship!!!

We went the Museum of Play in Rochester, a little busy, but I would like to go again.


Now we have a dog named Sweet Pea. At first I wasn't sure if we could keep her, she initially made Daniel break out into hives, but he as settled down, and we are getting into the groove of having a dog. She is a pomeranian mix.
We have also been spending a lot of time outdoors! I'm hoping the winter is truly over now, we made it through another one, and not too worse for the wear.
The kids have begun to enjoy 4 wheeling over at Uncle Joe's.

The Spring Co-op has begun, and the first week was fun. I feel a little more in the groove with the kids, settled in here, and slightly more confidence in homeschooling. I needed to get these updates before Daniel's birthday is here, it is right around the corner!
